Whoa. To say "good news" is an understatement.

  • Kyla Marshell(my Spelman sister, c'09!) has won an endowed poetry prize from the Academy of American Poets!
  • Natasha Trethewey will be named Georgia Woman of the Year today!
  • Jacqueline Woodson has won the Newberry Medal!
  • Andrew Ervin has been named to be the first Southern Review Resident Scholar. This may be the sweetest post-MFA gig ever.
  • CoCo Harris's memoir "Parting Words" has been excerpted in Blood Lotus.
  • Charles Gonzalez has just received his MFA from Goddard College. Coo-coo-ca-choo!


    If you've got good news, I want to hear about it!
